My name is Marcela Loyo and I’m a student of MYP III grade from Instituto Anglo Britanico. In my class of design, we were said to choose a problem that is in our society and that we consider it has solutions. My topic chosen is “Social Networks on Teens”, especially on teens because is the age in which I’m living right now and I see how many friends are having problems with social networks. Also because when you are teen, you are looking for your identity, and social networks influence a lot on teens’ esteem. I consider social networks are awesome, because they provide us many benefits as expansion of knowledge, continue with a long distance friendship, expression of ourselves, but the wrong use of them are the trigger factor for many teens to feel less than others and in mayor case; suicide. So with this project I’m starting, I want to create awareness on teens to use social networks for what they were meant for; another space to develop ourselves. The nature of the problem is teens with problems, literally. What I try and like to say when I mean with those kind of teens, may be teens that feel more than the others, teens with parents’ problems, violence problems, and they think that because they are suffering, they have the right to do the same with the others and hide their faces behind the computer. Resumed in one word the nature of the problem are the bullies, which find a way to use social networks to hurt others. Mainly all the cyber bullying it’s a problem for the low esteem teens, homosexual teens, different physical features, photographs upload on social networks, and teens with different likes. For example, imagine Rachael it’s a girl who 3 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID likes a lot a popular school boy called Shawn. Shawn asks Rachael a photograph of her private parts, and because Rachael is so in love with Shawn, she sends the picture to him. Shawn forwards that picture to all of his contacts, and now all the school bothers her sending texts saying she is “so easy”. Another example is, imagine Trevor likes a lot Pokémon ( a kids cartoon), and the bullies of the school think that is so infant that they start doing offensive photos called memes of him and his like, and then put them on internet. The last example is, Sophia it’s a girl with obesity problems and all the skinny girls on the school post on her Facebook wall awful status of her physic. The problem occurs on school; bullies target their victims and then use social networks as a media to hurt others in the most noticeable way, because things on social networks flow so fast, that everyone will know of something in a minute, or they may use social networks as a media to hide their faces and keep the cyber bullying anonymous. Cyber bullying by social networks occurs due to the not acceptance of identity. Teens think that because they are not popular, intelligent, blonde, skinny, strong, etc, they deserve to suffer. But that it’s a completely wrong idea, we were not born perfect, and we were neither born to be the same as others, we were born to be unique! Each of us with different skills, likes, physical features, reasoning; each of us with a different personality. Unfortunately, the effect of cyber bullying by social networks are devastated. All the teens suffering cyber bullying decide to suicide because they think that not living here anymore will make bullies feel better and also end all this shocking stuff they’re living. Questions like: Why me? Somebody loves me? Am I doing something wrong? Am I ugly? Fat? Dumb? Am I so easy to control? Why? Why? Get on cyber bullying victims’ minds, causing 32% of teens to suicide. 4 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID There have been many cases of cyber bullying and some of the most shocking were from: Amanda Todd, Tyler Clement, Sarah Lynn, Jesse Logan, Megan Miler, Ryan Patrick, just a few of them, that end up on a grave due to the unconscious and irresponsibility use of social networks.

Picture of Marcela’s Family in 2011 8 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID “Social Networks on Teens: Positive Aspects” Now, I am working with the second step of Criteria A, which specifies to do an investigation of the opposite of your problem, so if last document I talked about the negative aspects social networks provoque to teens, today I will show you the positive aspects. Even though, we will always found countless negative aspects, everything has a positive side, and let me tell you that there is an enormous debate in our society to know if social networks are bad or not. I my personal opinion, social networks are a gift for all of us, but what makes it negative is the use each of us gave them. In the following text, I will show you some benefits teens and society has. Social networking benefits all, regardless of the age, we can all get something good from them, and for example we can have large distance communication, educational programs, and even entertainment. Each social network was created with a purpose; Facebook has as a purpose give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected, Twitter has as a purpose freedom of expression, as writing thoughts, jokes, and news, Instagram has as a purpose share photos and videos, YouTube has as a purpose publish, edit and view online videos with global reach, talking about different contexts, and Snapchat has as a purpose send short and funny photos or videos that only appear 24 hours. These were only a few networks I mentioned, but there are thousands of them and were created with the only purpose of making people lives happier. Now, Social networks may be created with different purposes but all of them provide the same things to humans, keep reading to find out the 6 things all social networks have in common, and benefits us. 9 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID 1. Friends: It has never been easier to make friends than it is right now, mainly thanks to social networking sites. The rise of mobile phones helped change this, connecting people in a new way, but then social networks sprang up and the whole idea of friendship changed once more. They help us be in contact with our closest friends but also to keep with a large distance friendship, for example if I met someone that lives in Canada and I live in Mexico, social networks keep us connected. Social networking sites can help you make and keep friends. 2. Empathy: Each of us spends a little too long talking about ourselves on social networking sites. This is perfectly natural. We’re sharing our lives with people we think will care. They generally do care, and will tell you so. The point is that by all of us sharing our experiences, both good and bad, on social networking sites, we’re able to empathize with each other. 3. Speedy Communication: Our time is being stretched thinner and thinner by work and family commitments, but social networking sites offer a chance to communicate in a speedy and efficient manner. One of the reasons I dislike making phone calls is that you can’t be doing more things at a time, and imagine you need so. Whatsapp, for example, is a social network created to have a writing conversation when phone calls are unnecessary. Social networking sites allow you to live a life simple by small writing talk. 4. In Touch with the World: It isn’t just your inner circle of close friends and even closer family members that social networking sites allow you to communicate with easily and effectively, either. They open the world up to you, making it a smaller place than it has ever been before. When it comes to social networks everyone is equal, regardless of 10 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID location. For example, family living abroad can be kept abreast of the latest happenings in your world as quickly as those living next door. Another example is that friends who you haven’t seen since school, and who have since moved away, are able to keep in touch. 5. Building Relationships: Social networks can put you back in touch with those you have lots in common with, and that common ground is often the starting point for long-lasting relationships. Social networking sites can help foster friendships and perhaps more besides. 6. Finding Common Ground in an Open Society: As previously mentioned, social networking sites can help you find people you share interests with. Facebook, for example, asks you to list who and what you are into, meaning common ground with others is much easier to find. This does require sharing information, and giving up a certain amount of privacy in order to do so. Keeping key personal information private is necessary, but likes and dislikes, interests and obsessions, thought and views, isn’t. And actually contributes to an open society. Social networking sites make fitting in easier, as long as you open up a little. In life, there are positive and negative sides to social networking, both of which we have now explored. My personal belief, as mentioned, is that social networks way of use can tell you if they are bad or wrong, social networking sites are neither evil or a Godsend. They’re somewhere in between. With both sides understood, it’s difficult to know if social networks are a friend or foe, but, that’s your decision. 11 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID Reference: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/positive-impact-social-networking-sites-societyopinion/ In order to know how to use social networks, here is a document that will show you how to use the program “Movie Maker” that helps you to make a video. How to use Movie Maker Hi! My name is Marcela Loyo Hermosillo, and I’m a student from the school Instituto Anglo Britanico.

The script is like an informative and reflexive video, in which two girls will be talking about cyber bullying from its origin to its end. SCENE #1: Zuñiga and Loyo appear in a wall, half black, half white. Zuñiga (serious): One of the most important differences found between traditional bullying and cyber bullying is that victims can be bullied anytime, anywhere, anyhow, by anyone. Loyo (serious): Fully 95% of all teens between 12-17 years old are now online, from those, 81% use some kind of social media, and over 25% have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet. SCENE #2: Zuñiga narrates, while a group of boys are in a computer writing insults and making offensive images. Zuñiga (serious): Cyber bullying begins with a group of people (points the boys) that target an innocent victim. A normal boy, with different likes and opinions, different dressing and abilities, but for them, he is just a looser, a nerd, a toy, an insect, a pathetic. SCENE #3: Loyo narrates, while the same group of boys wears a mask of social media. Loyo (anger): And because they can hide behind a mask of anonymity online, and do not need to make physical contact with the victim, they aren’t aware of the harm and pain they can cause. They just type and type, unconsciously like machines, without felling or thinking. SCENE #4: Zuñiga and Loyo appear with a 3 teens, line up, Zúñiga in the begging and Loyo at the end, each dressed and with things they like. Zuñiga (happy): They tell you to be yourself... Loyo (sad): and then they judge you. Zuñiga (whatever): Sometimes, it’s just easier to pretend I’m okay, Loyo (disappointed): but I’m not. Zuñiga (almost crying): You think you want to die, Loyo (crying): but in reality, you just want to be saved. SECENE #5: Zuñiga appears in a dark background. 19 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID Zuñiga (anger): Cyber bullying victims are 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide. IT´S ENOUGH! SCENE #6: Loyo appears in a white background with cyber bullying victims’ real photos. Loyo (nostalgic): Amanda Todd, Tyler Clement, Sarah Lynn, Jesse Logan, Megan Miller, Ryan Patrick, just a few angels in heaven that arrived before time. SCENE #7: Zuñiga and Loyo appear in a wall, half black, half white. Zuñiga (serious): Pulling someone down will never help you reach the bottom, if you are a bullier, taste your words before you write them down. Loyo (serious): When life changes to be harder, change yourself to be stronger, if you are a victim, don’t let other people texts, posts or videos define you and bring you down, keep the faith and always trust yourself. Zuñiga (serious): Let’s create a society were laughs were of jokes and not of teasing, were messages were to communicate and not to offense, were posts were sharing our precious moments and not of ridiculing others. Loyo (serious): if you are seeing this video, I invite you to end this, to grow happiness and security, Both (yelling): TO STOP CYBERBULLYING! END Approximately 2:09 min 20 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID Present and Justify FINAL CHOOSEN DESIGN My partner is Marcela Zuñiga and her proposal for the video is “ The theme is like what happen if you start looking forward instead looking down to his phone, his name is Ed a common guy but he is always with his phone and she married Bella, also a common girl but they met in a street, Bella passed in front of him and they look at each other and they fell in love, but that was because he let his cellphone and he shut off the phone and so he could see her and they could fall in love, but if he never stop using his phone he would never met his love of his life.” My proposal is to talk about one of the most important negative aspects of social media had cause; cyber bullying, so I am going to make a script of the presentation. The script is like an informative and reflexive video, in which two girls will be talking about cyber bullying from its origin to its end. According to both ideas, we decided to mix our scripts and conclude to make a video about the cyberbullying and the loss of opportunities because the preference of the cellphone. We will make it because these two things: actually, they are used in almost all the schools or communities and we are going to recreate a scene using the scripts that we join, which is the following: SCENE #1: a group of teens in their cellphones are making phone of a girl, which is the center of the circle. Zuñiga (crying): look up from your phone and see another dimension of life, start loving each other and see the wonderful things friends can provide. (Title appears: CYBERBULLYING.) SCENE #2: Zuñiga and Loyo appear in a wall, half black, half white. Loyo (serious): Fully 95% of all teens between 12-17 years old are now online, from those, 81% use some kind of social media, and over 25% have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet. Zuñiga (serious): One of the most important differences found between traditional bullying and cyber bullying is that victims can be bullied anytime, anywhere, anyhow, by anyone. SCENE #3: Zuñiga narrates, while a group of boys are in a computer writing insults and making offensive images. Zuñiga (serious): Cyber bullying begins with a group of people (points the boys) that target an innocent victim. A normal boy, with different likes and opinions, 21 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID different dressing and abilities, but for them, he is just a looser, a nerd, a toy, an insect, a pathetic. SCENE #4: Loyo narrates, while the same group of boys wears a mask of social media.

Changes are made according to the situations you face at the moment of making the final product. In our case, the possible changes in a video may be some words on the dialogue, the backgrounds, the order of the scenes, or even the additional or less scene on the video. Specifying our changes, we were meant to film us on black and white backgrounds, but we didn’t have the enough resources to buy paint and put white and black backgrounds, so we decided to use the different styles of walls of Zuñiga’s house as backgrounds. In that way we added different texture to our videos, which by the way make us stand out more. Also another change we made was that the last scene, was supposed to be filmed on a classroom, but we ended filming on a gold curtain and adding animations. Also we eliminated a scene that was connected to the first scene for several reasons, one of them was that will add more time to the video and could make our grade decrease, other reason, was that it wasn’t necessary to add because the message we wanted to give was already explained during the video, and the last reason was that if we put that scene at the last it won’t fit with the story and if we put it next to the one we were supposed to connect it will tell a conclusion too sooner, so we decided to eliminate it. 26 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID 27 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID Design the Testing Method After the production of my video, goes Criteria D, which consists of evaluating the video. For that we have 4 steps: design the testing method, evaluate the success of the solution, and explain how the solution could be improve, and explain the impact of the solution. This criterion it’s based on the opinions and modifications of the video. Here the voice of the people counts a lot and also your auto evaluation in a fair and honest way. Now, I will ask different people to give me their opinions about the video. With these comments, I will find out if my video really impacts the society feeling, if the message I wanted to express is the one the audience is receiving and if the quality of the video is good. I ask my parents, my sister, friends from school and neighborhood and academy. The following images will show the opinion of each. 28 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID 29 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID I also made a survey to know a general opinion of my final product. Survey: 1. Did you like the video? Yes. IIII IIII IIII No. 2. Did you understand the message? Yes. IIII IIII IIII No. 3. The effects made the video interesting? ( Animations, transitions, captions, music) Yes. IIII IIII III No.I 4. Would you share the video on your Facebook Wall? Yes. IIII IIII III No.I 5. The quality of the image was… Good. IIII IIII I Bad. III 6. Does the video’s idea was creative? Yes. IIII IIII IIII No. 30 “Protecting My Memories” – Marcela Loyo – MYP IIID Evaluate the Success of the Solution According to all the comments I think that Marcela and I did a great job, because, besides the topic, we make the shots in a varies way which provide the audience a change of view, we added keywords which provide the audience a meaning of what we were talking about, we put a slow and emotive music to provoque the audience a feeling and also our dialogues were like a game of words that with a simple sentence expressed a lot. So I consider, and based also on the comments and survey, we made a really good job. Explain how the Solution could be Improve Our video has a perfectly image, effects and transitions, but one thing we could improve and some people also suggested was the volume on the last 2 scenes. That’s a problem almost every team had, including us, due to the echo produce with the noise surrounding us, and with our voice just recording with the special resources or equipment, the voice doesn’t hears very good. For example, we could solve that problem using a special microphone, small enough for our voice to hear, but the microphone doesn’t appears on the camera or video. Besides the volume. I think our video had a good quality. 31
